Cardano's Midnight network token, NIGHT, has seen a significant increase in adoption, adding approximately 3,000 new wallets in a single epoch, according to Cexplorer.io. This growth brings the total number of NIGHT holders to over 20,700, indicating rising interest as the project nears key network milestones. Despite a price correction from its December highs, the increase in wallet numbers suggests that interest in NIGHT is driven by ecosystem developments rather than short-term price movements. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has expressed optimism for 2026, highlighting Midnight's role in providing privacy infrastructure for decentralized applications. NIGHT's current trading price is $0.07952, down from its December peak of $0.45.
